Should have included Mileva Maric, Serbian Physicist and Mathematician and Albert Einsteins first wife. Although just how prominent a role she played in Albert Einsteins early work is not heavily documented and still debated, its highly likely that she played a major role in the development of the Theory of Relativity, so much so that Einstein gave her all of the monetary proceeds of his Nobel Prize for Physics (although some might argue that this was more of a divorce settlement. Unfortunately, once she had children he no longer treated her as his intellectual partner, but instead just a wife and mother, and this soured their once passionate relationship considerably.

I learned about all of these women in public school. I was in public school from kindergarten-part of third grade. And I was homeschooled for 10 years.
Ms Mojo left out that Mae Jemison ended up getting 2 degrees when she graduated from Stanford. A Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts in African and African American studies. And after she got her M. D, she worked with the CDC researching vaccines.

Theres Irene Harris. She was the first female theatrical manager and producer in the United States.
Theres also Molly Brown who advocated for the rights and education for women and the lower class and ran for senate at one point.
Both were Titanic survivors.

She should've included Joan Clarke. She was the woman who helped Alan Turing on the research to solve Enigma codes in order to take part in help fighting Nazis during World War II.

So sad that no one hardly anyone remembers Bessy Colman. She was so amazing! I personally am obsessed with the history of women in aviation! So many of them are forgotten.

The best list in a long time. I would've put Hedy Lamar in number 2 though, or a satisfying tie between Marie and Lamar. Excellent list. Thank you

Please do more lists like this. I think people need to learn more about the women and men who changed the world in positive ways.

I would have thought Mary Baker Eddy should have been on this list. A woman founded and lead a world wide Christian religion in 1879.

Not everybody is Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel. If not for them standing up for her, Marie would have ended up on this list.
